Supporting breast cancer survivors to self-manage their health can optimise health-related quality of life and reduce symptom burden. Self-management education (SME) has been advocated at the policy and programme level in Australian primary care, but its uptake is often limited. This study explores healthcare professionals\u2019 (HCPs) experiences and perceptions of SME in primary care, aiming to identify factors influencing its implementation and to support survivorship care for breast cancer survivors in Australia. Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted involving in-depth semi-structured interviews. Convenience sampling was used to recruit HCPs across the three primary care clinics in the Greater Brisbane area. The interviews were conducted based on an interview guide. Each interview was audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Descriptive content analysis was used to analyse the data. Results: Fourteen participants were interviewed across three primary care settings, including five general practitioners and nine registered nurses. Three categories were synthesised from the data: (1) Meaning and role of SM\/SME; (2) Suboptimal SME in current practice; (3) Perceived factors impacting SME delivery in practice. Each category had two to six subcategories for the participants. Conclusions: The findings highlighted the importance and perceived benefits of SME for breast cancer survivors and HCPs in Australian primary care. However, the integration of SME into primary care remained suboptimal due to a combination of systemic, organisational, and healthcare provider factors. Evidence-based resources, particularly guidelines and training, are essential to equip HCPs to effectively integrate SME into routine care for breast cancer survivors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nursrep16070254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,20]],"date-time":"2026-07-20T10:44:02Z","timestamp":1784544242000},"page":"254","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Healthcare Professionals\u2019 Experiences and Perspectives on Self-Management Education for Breast Cancer Survivors in Australian Primary Care: A Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Meng-Yuan","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Southern Queensland, Ipswich, QLD 4305, Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Health, Charles Darwin University, Brisbane, QLD 4000, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9845-3988","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Southern Queensland, Ipswich, QLD 4305, Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Health, Charles Darwin University, Brisbane, QLD 4000, Australia"},{"name":"Institute of Health Research, University of Southern Queensland, Springfield, QLD 4350, Australia"},{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, WA 6027, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1969-8002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Terry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Southern Queensland, Ipswich, QLD 4305, Australia"},{"name":"Institute of Health Research, University of Southern Queensland, Springfield, QLD 4350, Australia"},{"name":"Institute of Health and Wellbeing, Federation University, Ballarat, VIC 3353, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiying","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Southern Queensland, Ipswich, QLD 4305, Australia"},{"name":"Institute of Health Research, University of Southern Queensland, Springfield, QLD 4350, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabella","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health, Charles Darwin University, Brisbane, QLD 4000, Australia"},{"name":"Cancer and Palliative Care Outcomes Centre, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, QLD 4059, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1609-6890","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing-Yu (Benjamin)","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Southern Queensland, Ipswich, QLD 4305, Australia"},{"name":"Faculty of Health, Charles Darwin University, Brisbane, QLD 4000, Australia"},{"name":"Institute of Health Research, University of Southern Queensland, Springfield, QLD 4350, Australia"},{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery, The University of Notre Dame Australia, Fremantle, WA 6160, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2025, March 19).
